Synopsis
As John Wayne’s character said in The Alamo: “There’s right and there’s wrong. You got to do one or the other.” The ultimate measure of a man is how he chooses to act. From the pithy to the humorous to the profound, the film career of the man known as The Duke is full of life lessons for today. In John Wayne's Way, author Doug Brode explores the film legacy of the Duke and provides commentary on the lessons learned from the archetypes of the West and American manhood Wayne displayed on the silver screen. Complete with quotes and photographs from the movies, these pithy lessons will be appealing to John Wayne fans and Western film buffs.

Review
The Alamo (1960) and The Green Berets (1968). It’s a readable, solid book based on library research. Screenwriter and playwright Brode’s book is a well-illustrated guide to the Duke’s films, describing each with a short life lesson (e.g., the lesson from 1968’s Hellfighters is 'A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do; his woman must either accept and live with that or cut and run.' VERDICT Eliot’s book is a great account of the star’s life more for film buffs in general than for fans of Wayne. Brode’s well-done work will make an excellent present for those who love Wayne’s films. (Library Journal)
This volume is a chatty, often humorous or pithy, overview of John Wayne and Wayne's characters in film. The author explores the film legacy of the Duke, providing commentary on the lessons learned from the archetypes of the West. (Communication Booknotes Quarterly)
